New Bern Dental Clinic

This weekend Dr. Taylor volunteered time at another Missions of Mercy Dental Clinic in New Bern, NC.  The clinic helped over 500  people that may not have been able to obtain care otherwise.

Look who joined our office!

We are happy to announce that our office has another team member.  Dr. Taylor's new Havanese puppy, Pepper, has been accompanying him to the office lately.  Born on January 31, 2011, Pepper is about 8 months old and was found through a rescue organization.  He was not treated so well during the first few months of his life, so he is a bit shy around people.  With some time, we are all hoping he will get used to all the "ins and outs" of the office! 

Congratulations to Dr. Taylor!

Dr. Taylor was inducted as a Fellow of the International College of Dentists at its 82nd Annual Convocation in Las Vegas on October 10, 2011.

An honorary organization for the recognition of outstanding and meritorious service to the profession and community, the College presented Dr. Taylor with a membership plaque, a gold lapel pin and gold key symbolic of this Fellowship for conspicuous service rendered in the art and science of Dentistry.

In an impressive cap and gown ceremony, almost 300 dentists from the US were inducted into the College at this year's ceremony witnessed by hundreds of members and guests.  The College, with representative chapters in more than 80 countries, has over 11, 000 members, including about 6,500 in the US.

Congrats to Dr. Taylor!

a bit more news about the good doctor...

You might remember a couple of months ago a post about Dr. Taylor's MPACT award.  We just received some additional photos from that evening and thought we would share just a few.

We're back!

Our office has re-opened after our summer vacation week.  The staff is rested after a week off, and we needed it, given a very busy week back!  And, we are down one staff member.  Sadly, Valerie Mooney, our most recently added dental assistant, has moved to Lexington, Kentucky.  Valerie accepted a job with an orthodontic office in Lexington and will be there for at least one year.  While we will miss her very much, Dr. Taylor will be able to keep up with her when she attends NCMOM clinics in the western part of North Carolina.
